Hopefully I'm not too late to the party. Here is my daily driver.

Good lookin Nova, suspension specs?

[carguy502]

Front Stock LCA with poly bushing, McGaughy Tubular UCA with poly bushings. Fatman Tall spindle conversion with a 2" drop. QA1 Coilover conversion, solid 1" sway bar. I am now hunting for beefier UCAs and LCAs with derlin or del-a-lum bushings
Rear: Hotchkis rear leafsprings, no swaybar. Edelbrock Classic Shocks. Looking to add either Caltracs or swap to a different spring, perhaps a fiberglass spring. I have a lousy 60' and wheel hop galore, but it handles like a champ.

im running SCandC upper control arms, with ats spindles... the arms are very stout and fully adjustable..one single improvement was running a "jounce" bumper on my lower control arms..they sit real close to the frame and are designed to work with the suspension cycle not against it like a typical bump stop

great thing is they were $12 a piece from my local chevrolet dealership

Great lookin' car! Are those Team III wheels and if so what width/offset are you running? I've been eyeing those for my project for a while.

Those, my friend, are Edelbrock 454 wheels , from back when they made them a couple of years ago. They stopped making them, but I am not quite certain why I heard every reason from a lawsuit to a fire in the facility where they were cast. Ultra is making the same wheel essentialy, just sans the indentation on the outer rim for a little Edelbrock logo. Size is 17X8, 4.25 BS all around. 235/45r17 in back (can fit a 255) and 215/45R17 (might fit a 225) up front. I am looking into Vintage Wheel V48 so I can get the correct offset to fit more rubber front and back.

Thanks for the info. Those rims give the car a very unique look. I like it!

too bad you couldnt get some better bs for those rims, because you have alot more rubber to fit under there

[carguy502]

Yeah, I want to narrow the wheels in the front to 7" and shave off 1/4 inch off the mounting pad and widen the rears to 9", but can't seem to find anyone in my area that might do it. Most people are concerned about words like "saftey" lol
